V IMPROVED MEDICINE 0R LINIMENT FOR TREATING NERVOUS DISEASES.

Specification forming part of Leiters Patent No. 98,809, dated January 11, 1870.

eases, suchas neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, paralysis, toothache, and all other diseases ofa similar character,and which I call J. F. Smiths Pain-Ir tdicating Liniment.

To make my liniment or nervine, I take equal parts of the following ingredients, viz: first, oil of peppermint; second, liquor of ammonia; third, chloroform; fourth, tincture of aconite-root; fifth, tincture of camphor. These ingredients are taken and thoroughly mixed together in the proportions above specified.

and diluted with equal parts of alcohol, distilled water, and rose-Water.

The quantity of the diluting-agent must be varied according to the strength of the liniment required.

The liniment is applied externally, similar to any of the liniinents for removing local pains, but when used to cure toothachea piece of cotton orother fibrous material is saturated with it and placed in the cavity of the toot-h,

care being taken not to receive any of the liniment into the system.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut, is-

A nerviue liniment composed of the ingredients above enumerated, mixed and coinpounded in about the manner and proportions herein specified.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
